1 By the rivers of Babylon,
2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof
3 For there they that led us captive required of us songs,
4 How shall we sing Jehovah’s song
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
7 Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom
8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed,
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
